Sitcoms have been a staple of the TV landscape for decades now. You meet a group of people in a very specific context and join them on a 30 minute adventure every week until you finally reach the end of their journey several years later and somehow find a way to move on with your life now that you’ve lost these people you cared about so deeply.
And while a lot of sitcoms are average at best, some of them manage to break the mold and be genuinely good. Let’s take a look at some of the sitcoms that have stood the test of time and will probably always be amazing.
Scrubs
This Zach Braff sitcom about a group of medical interns has left our screens for over a decade now, but they’ve never left our hearts. It’s basically the sitcom version of House M.D.’s medical CSI so you can expect some of the same storylines about dealing with life and death as a medical professional, but the sitcom format keeps everything a bit lighter and it’s just such a well-written show.
The Office US
While one could argue that the last few seasons without Steve Carrell really dip a bit in quality, it’s just a genuinely fun show that makes fun of corporations and office mentality in such a clever way. And while the characters are exaggerated to the point of being caricatures, I can guarantee you that if you work in an office setting, you’ll recognize some of your colleagues in there. Heck, maybe even yourself!
